Whether oriental in design, or a Southwest festival of color and flora variety, you can enhance your walkthrough garden with the use of wind chimes.

Nothing extended perfectly enhances the garden yard d?cor and stimulates the senses like a quality crafted wind chime that has been precision tuned. Appealing to the eye, and alive with movement, wind chimes catch the wind and harmonize with nature; permeating the surrounding area with a tantalizing yet soothing aura of peace and tranquility.

Butterflies have different nectar and flower color preferences. For instance, while the elegant Viceroy prefers milkweed and aster, the stately Monarch prefers goldenrod and thistle. Other favored flora varieties include butterfly weed, pink azalea, purple coneflower, marigold, and rosemary.

For longer garden life and increased butterfly activity, mix flower varieties that bloom at different times of the year. Groups of flowers are heavier appealing and easier for butterflies to locate than single specimens.

A bird bath for water, surfaces for basking in the sun on cooler days, shady areas for resting on hot days, and a trellis with nectar-filled honeysuckle or jasmine will help round out and bring balance to the butterfly garden yard d?cor.

The addition of tranquil sounds made by wind chimes, pitched at a higher tone to compliment the sounds of gurgling water will increase feng shui.

Delightful, relaxing sounds made by visiting bees and birds will add to the melodic duet of the water and wind chime, to create an environment as audibly soothing as it is visually stimulating.

Purchase zone-appropriate plants that are native to the area – perennial and wildflower varieties. These will be hardy, require little care, and will prove the most prolific. Do not overcrowd plants as they will be increased susceptible to disease.

Flowers have long been used to symbolize life’s important events
and emotions. Roses are symbols of love, lilies, the flowers of
death and renewal, and carnations a sign of appreciation. We use
flowers as wedding decorations, Valentine’s Day presents and
Christmas ornaments. No matter what the occasion is, a beautiful
flower arrangement is a wonderful way to celebrate life through
vibrant colors and rich floral scents.

Florists provide customers with a variety of arrangements made
specifically for certain occasions and events. However, if you
are on a budget, flower arrangements can be fairly pricey.
Professional florists charge exorbitant amounts for their
expertise, and the flowers themselves can be extremely
expensive. Making your own arrangements can be a fun and
creative alternative to ordering pieces from a florist. By
purchasing flowers individually, you can choose the exact colors
and scents you need to say exactly what you want to communicate.

When making your own flower arrangement, you should first
consider its purpose. If you are making arrangements for a
wedding, white is typically the presiding color. You should
start with basic white flowers and add a few accents that match
the bridesmaids’ dresses. Large leafy green pieces add a nice
contrast to delicate buds for table centerpieces, and sometimes
simplicity is the leading aesthetic tactic. If you are making
centerpieces for several tables, you can purchase your flowers
in bulk and use one design over and over again, or you can make
each piece an individual work of art.

For vase arrangements, choose your container first, and pick
flowers that are the correct height for the vase. When you cut
your flowers, be sure to cut the stems at an angle so they can
absorb water correctly and stay fresh for a long time. Vase
arrangements require a focal point, and this can be one large
flower or a grouping of several. It is important to choose a
color scheme and to stick with it. For instance, you would not
want to mix red and pink roses, or to combine yellow daisies
with died green carnations. Make sure you choose flowers that
look and smell good in combination with each other, and fill in
the gaps with baby’s breath and leafy greenery.

When you are making larger potted flower arrangements, an
aesthetically pleasing plant is a great base for your design.
However, you might not want to combine a spiky cactus with soft
blooming roses. If you are using only flowers, you will need a
piece of arranging foam to provide a structure for the piece.
Green foam can be purchased at most craft stores, and it can be
cut to fit any shape you need. Before you start sticking in your
stems, you might sketch out an idea of the final product. If the
arrangement is to be large, pick a few large flowers to act as
focal points rather than picking a multitude of tiny blooms. Too
many small flowers distract the eye and make the arrangement
seem busy rather than soothing.

Once you have chosen all of your flowers and greenery, begin
arranging them in the container. It will take several tries and
lot of adjusting before your create a finished product, but be
confident and do what looks nonpareil. Arranging flowers is an
intuitive art, and if you have chosen a good color scheme and a
variety of shapes and sizes, the correct eye-pleasing concoction
will often fall into place with little effort. When you are
finished, you will have a beautiful, natural decoration to perk
up even the gloomiest of environments, and you will have the
satisfaction of having created a wonderful work of art.

What childhood memories do you hold dear? For me, it was all the times “life happened”. The little things like playing outside, riding my bike with the wind in my hair, playing
at the park, swimming in the lakes, giggling with friends. None of those moments cost a cent, yet they are some of my most treasured memories.

Making memories on a budget is very easy to do. Choose any of the ideas below and you’ll have a fun-filled time without breaking the bank!

Garden – Plant flowers, fruit trees, herbs, or vegetables. Your child will learn science, responsibility and have fun!

Snip-it – Give your child old toy catalogs or magazines and safe scissors. Watch them cut all day.

Diggin’ It – Send your child outside with a bucket and small shovel. Shoveling snow, sand, dirt or rocks — it’s all good fun.

Sing – Turn up the radio and sing! Teach your child the music of the 70s, 80s, or 90s.

Play Catch – Throw different items (balloons, tennis balls) to your child. Roll balls to young children.

Sidewalk Chalk – Lay on the sidewalk and take turns outlining each other. Decorate your flat selves.

Cardboard Boxes – Make towers, build cities, design play houses, airplanes, trains, forts and larger!

Bubbles – Blow Bubbles. Take turns chasing and popping them.

Masks – Create Masks from Paper bags, paper plates, foam, or anything on hand.

Cards – Introduce your child to all the classic games — UNO, Crazy 8, Go Fish, Old Maid, Memory Match.

Scavenger Hunt – Give your child a list of clues and send him out to find them. Clues can be simple (find a rock) or very advanced (find a piece of granite).

Throw Rocks – Go to a pond, creek, or lake and throw rocks. Try to skip them or aim for different targets.

Bath Time – Bring kitchen utensils into the bath tub. Bubbles and water can become an imaginary gourmet dinner.

Office – Give your child Junk Mail, stickers, a calculator and pen — they’ll have their own office!

Photography – Let your child use a disposable camera or a digital camera and witness their creativity.

Picnic – Make some sandwiches and eat them outside.

Cooking – Find age-appropriate recipes and let your child help in the kitchen.

Tag – How many versions of tag do you remember from your childhood? Teach the oldies to your children (freeze tag, TV tag, etc.)

Write a Story – Younger children can write wiggle-worm sentences (much scribbling and pictures). Encourage older children to write chapter books — your child may surprise you.

Charades – Toddlers can act out and guess their favorite animals (usually with many sound effects). Older children will enjoy acting out movie titles.

Flashlight – Turn off the lights & make shadow puppets. Or get two flashlights and chase the light beams.

Wildlife – Feed the ducks, squirrels, birds, turtles or fish near you.

Abundance – Every day, have your children tell you what they are thankful for.

Dress Up – Give your children your clothes and watch them imitate you.

Treats – Make cookies and decorate them.

Dance – Turn up the music and Dance!

Play Games – Teach your child all your favorite board games.

Journal – Present a notebook or diary to your child and encourage them to express their feelings with pictures and words.

Tea Party – Grab the stuffed animals and treat them to a delicious cup of imaginary tea.

Keep in Touch – Write a letter to Grandparents, Aunts or Uncles. Teach the import of

family.

I Spy – Come up with age-appropriate clues and let you child guess what you are

thinking.

Trim Those Roots! Before you plant them, make sure to prune back the roots to allow for new root growth to take place. This can make a large difference in the quality of these roses.
